Circe Comments on Prometheus's Foresight #hades2Added:
Do you believe the Titan of foresight can truly see into the future, madam?
Prometheus is quite insistent about it.
Quite soon you think you had such capability yourself.
Of that which shall transpire, I can sometimes see brief glimpses, little miss. Provided I devote a lot of resources and time. Prometheus, I think, may see the future uncontrollably.
But if you knew precisely what would happen, could you not simply change it?
For example, if I knew we'd have this conversation, I could have avoided the subject.
But then your knowledge of the future would be wrong. Such knowledge can be dangerous, besides. Our great ability to Hopper Hope depends upon not knowing what's to come.
Our darling.
Everything looks so big.
